* Hand sanitizer, Lip Balm, Pocket Tissues, Wet Wipes. All essentials, whether leaving the house for a day out or taking a flight to a far off country.

* Spare pants, trousers and nappy bags. Little Miss has been out of pull-ups for over a year, but I thought it was best to pack spares. Also carrying nappy bags in hand-luggage as any wet clothes can be stored in them until we get to our apartment.

* iPad mini - fully charged and updated with lots of new educational games to keep Little Miss busy. Plus we also have a few little movies on there like “Fantastic Mr Fox”, “Room on the Broom”, “Gruffalo”, and “Toy Story Mini Movies”.

* Water bottle - this is always a pain when traveling through an airport as they insist on having you taste the water when you go through security, some even require that you empty it. I tend to keep it empty and buy a bottle of water to decant into it after the security checks.

* Sunglasses - although these won’t be worn during the flight or in the airport, we’ll possibly need these enroute to our apartment….and no traveling (little) Lady should be without her sunglasses!

*Lunchbox - which will be packed with healthy snacks for Little Miss. I know we get an in-flight meal but its nice to have other bits to nibble on.

And thats pretty much it…..thank goodness the Trunki has lots of storage space!
